Beavcrhcatl County Pioneers Society.

The subject OF organizing a Beaverhead
County Pioneers Society has been fire.
quently agita,ed. and it has invariably met
with favorable consideration from the Pi.
oneers ofthis county, who would like to see
a society Of this kind organized. Once or
ganized it would become permanent or.
ganization, and one that would afford pleas.
ant reunions and pioneer meetings highly
enjoyable to tine members. 4 county SO.
ciety would in no way interfere with the
working or membership Of the Territorial
Pioneers Association, but on the contrary
it would prove beneficial to the Territorial
organization. About two years ago Mr..
Robt I. Wing collected and enrolled the
names Of nearly all the Pioneers living in
Beaverhead County who came to Montana
prior to May "a, 1862, and this en-. ol!ment
could be- corrected if any names escaped
Mr.. Wings attention. With such an Ell.
rollment Of names call could be properly
issued for Il meeting TO be held some day
during the first week Of the October term
Of court for the purpose OF organizing the
Beaverhead County Pioneers Society.
The time suggested would seem to be ap.
propria,e. There is plenty of time to get
ready Tor such gathering, and the society
should be organized this fall.
